I had a few old screw on picitiny rails that I fitted beneath where you would sit the camcorder into a tripod
added a half decent ir torch and bobs ya uncle
better build that a nitesite spotter for around 800.00
500yrd eyeshine easily visable on both the eyepiece and fold out screen, batterys last forever and a day
and also the option to record( on to a tape, a bloody tape lol a step backwards on that front)IMG_6423.JPGIMG_6424.JPG
not to bulky and very easy in the hand, finger tip controls
job done

Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:20:53 GMTHi guys. Just to pick your brains, when you fit your DIY NV to your scope how important is it that it is straight (which seems unlikely with a flexible tube). I'm thinking that when you use the scope nomally your eye needs to be looking pretty much straight through the middle of the scope is it the same for the camera. The reason I ask is that at ratting ranges in daylight I can shoot the nads off a fly but once the NV goes on I reckon I'm hitting less than 75% of what shoot at. The picture on the screen is clear and full screen (no shade at the edges). The only other thing I can think of is that I'm hopelessly misjudging range through the NV though the rifle is zeroed at 15yds and the shooting is in and around barns and I shoot from a stick. Anyone else had this experience. I will add that I can group almost as well with NV at home from a bench type rest as I can in daylight, it all goes wrong out in the field.

Sun, 30 Jul 2017 15:27:08 GMTHi I just bought this.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It`s a uniquefire UF T20 ir torch and cost £25.99 with free postage.

Its nicely made compared to a lot of other torches i bought...it was delivered in a foam lined cardboard box..but will soon go in a hard case for storage.
The torch has a nice solid aluminium body that is supposedly aircraft grade (aint everything).
Inside the head sits an osram black 850nm ir led according to the blurb its over 1w of power.

The length is 5.5 inches when zoomed out and 6 inches zoomed in, the head is 1.75 inches wide and the body is 1 inch.

The illuminator takes 1 18650, and doesn`t need a sleeve inside the body, and it doesn`t rattle. there is an o`ring inside the endcap that seals pretty well, but ill bet it wont hold up to being submerged
Its a 3 power mode torch with zoom, i have read reports of it showing up eyeshine over 400m, it is much brighter than my other ir torch which cost more.
The head is nice and solid with no rattle and it has a convex lens made from glass and the reflector is white, the head screws in and out for the zoom.
Also included is a wrist strap that i tugged on and is still intact, so nice and strong.

Wed, 26 Jul 2017 21:04:07 GMTHi guys, I'm after some battery advice please I'm running out off battery after 2 hrs ratting I've been looking at batteries on the nitesite website I was thinking of going up a size to the bigger a battery pack but the price on them is a bit of a p**s take. What is inside these packs are they 18650 batteries?? Also what's the plug called on the batteries nitesite use I've seen loads of packs on eBay but they have got the female fitting not the male. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Cheers.

New to the site, Can anyone help with this question please !!,, Currently I have a air rifle with a Yukon 6.5 night vision scope on and want to know if there is on the market a mini screen which connects to the scope via a cable which allows you to see in the cross hairs of your sight the quarry you are after. Would appreciate any advice on how to set this up if possible ? Many thanks.

Fri, 21 Jul 2017 20:21:24 GMTAs some here will know, I recently got myself an add-on, but found my scope didn't have enough mag to see into the little hidey hole I made to attract the local rat population.
Today I acquired a 4-16 Nikko Mountmaster but under daylight conditions through the nv, the picture becomes very milky at anything above x7. (Obviously I didn't have the ir torch on, even I'm not that dumb!)
Is this normal?
Im pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the scope but wasn't expecting the milky sight picture.
Will it be clearer in darkness?

All advice/opinions welcomed, thanks lads.:up:

Edit:just to be clear, the milkyness isn't present when using the scope without the nv
